بـ«القاتل».. برشلونة يعود لنغمة الانتصارات

Barcelona regained their winning rhythm after defeating their guest and neighbor Girona 2-1 in the match held this evening (Saturday) as part of the ninth round of the Spanish league.
Barcelona's goals were scored by Pedri (11') and Araujo (90+3'), while Girona's goal came from Axel Witsel (20').
The match witnessed a strong start from Barcelona, who managed to score the first goal after an individual effort from Pedri, who dribbled past two defenders before shooting a low ball into the far corner of the net, beating Argentine goalkeeper Paulo Gazzaniga (11'). However, Girona managed to equalize with a stunning goal from their Belgian player Axel Witsel, who received a cross from his teammate Arno Martínez and executed an acrobatic volley that found the net (20').
Girona nearly took the lead on two consecutive occasions, first when Ukrainian Vladyslav Vanat's shot was saved by Polish goalkeeper Wojciech Szczęsny, and then Cristian Porto received a through ball from midfield that put him one-on-one with the goalkeeper, but the post saved the situation.
Barcelona tried to take the lead again, but Englishman Marcus Rashford's free-kick hit the crossbar, and the crossbar stood in Barcelona's way again when substitute Fermín López shot a low ball. The referee also disallowed a goal from defender Pau Koubarsi after calling a foul on Marc Casado during the attack.
Barcelona's pressure continued until it finally resulted in a winning goal when Dutchman Frenkie de Jong delivered a precise cross that Araujo followed into the net (90+3'). The referee had sent off Barcelona's coach Flick minutes earlier for protesting the amount of added time, as he deemed it insufficient.
